Gurugram, Oct 29 (UNI) Gurugram Traffic Police issued 11,320 challans in a single day and impounded 169 vehicles plying without number plates on October 28, as its crackdown on traffic violations intensified.

The daily enforcement drive also targeted violations that obstruct traffic and endanger road users.

Surveillance has been stepped up on major roads, at intersections, and in other locations where unauthorised parking obstructs traffic.
